Blog 9: FWD – the perfect gift for your child’s first birthday.

The First birthday of a child is such an important milestone.  Every child is different but it is normally around their first birthday that children start taking their first few steps and start to walk. This is the best time to introduce them  to the Minjal 4WD as their first ride-on toy.

The first birthday gift can also be significant for the gift giver.  As it will often be remembered and talked about fondly for years to come.

The recommended age for the 4WD from 1 to 2.5 years.   4WD can of course be given anytime during this period but when given on the first birthday it will serve as a favourite companion for the coming years. 

Due to its strong construction it keeps up well with the growing demands of children as they grow bigger and stronger.   The ergonomic design helps prevent tiredness and encourages the child to play for long periods of time. This activity is good for the child’s growth and development.

4WD is easy to turn and move around in limited often crowded indoor space.  A child has fun practicing his driving skills around the furniture!

When buying a toy – sometimes the buyer knows already what he or she is going to buy before even getting to the shop.  More often the whole experience will be a learning one for the purchaser as he sees the vast array of toys available.   

There are cuter, more expensive and bigger ride- ons available in the market.  But bigger and more expensive does not always mean better or more suitable.  4WD is the most appropriate – the most suitable first ride on for every child.   Getting the child’s confidence is more important than speed and size.

The easiest way to understand how much your child will enjoy and benefit from playing on their 4WD is to see the smiles on the faces of the children as they play. It is not always easy to understand the technical reasons behind the design – until you see a child playing on it!

We get sent via social media amazing videos of ‘real ’ children playing on their 4WD’s. If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video must be worth a million!
